As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends may the love of God continue to be with you always. Psalm 116:15

Rest in Peace, John. I always enjoyed seeing you and Mary at the Elvis 5K races & personally brought you my photo of the two of you wearing your EP t-shirts at one of the races from years ago. You will be missed.

To the Wilkerson family: I was so sorry to learn of the loss of your Dad, and send prayers that you will be comforted at this time. My husband, Bob and I, attended Frayser with Johnny and Bill. May you have many good memories with your Dad (and Mom). Scottie and Bob Garber

Mr. Wilkerson was a fine man! He served our state as a committeeman and served the city of Lakeland, Tennessee as a commissioner. My husband and I are thankful for all he did for Lakeland and Tennessee! Rest in peace Mr. Wilkerson! My husband and I pray God will bless his family with a peace that passes all understanding!
